Rastriya Janamukti Party

Manifesto

Nepal is a multiethnic, multilingual, multicultural and multireligious country. To this date, the political transformation has achieved only a trivial political benefit by the state and the polity; the majority of people did not witness any glimpse of changes in the region of social, economic, religion and culture. The major reason behind these lacking are thus not involving the majority of ethnic groups, minor community and multireligious people in every aspect of equal state liability, resources and policy making. These marginalized sociocultural groups, minority communities and women are discriminated by the state in terms of their cultural identities.

All the groups and communities thus living in Nepal are Nepalese. Each community language is a national language. Each community religion is a national religion. But the state is dominating and discriminating the marginalized sociocultural groups and minor communities on basis of their religion, cultural and dialect norms by implementing the singular norm of particular community (favor by the ruling state) in terms of one dialect, one religion and one culture. This has not only proven that sociocultural groups and minority are being treated as a second class citizen by the state but has also deliberately disrespected the consensus of UN and World Human Right Organization by excluding them from participating in national growth and the rights of their cultural identities, values and recognition.
 

Thus for the Nation growth, harmony, sovereignty and unity, the Central Federal Government of equal proportional representatives (On basis population) from all the groups and women is the only necessity resolution so that it ensures fair distribution of resources to different groups, and promotes justice to various sociocultural groups and minority by sharing power. Under these criteria the specific law and accommodation shall be preserved as reservation for marginalized sociocultural groups, minor and under privilege communities, and women to prosper and develop in the sector of education, employment, civil service, industry etc. Hence the Rastriya Janamukti party shall be forever committed to marginalized sociocultural groups, minor communities and women for their socio rights, cultural development, justice and economic prosperity.
 

The model of secular state, decentralized government, federal state (Under geographical sphere) and state autonomy government (Equal Proportional representatives of all the groups and communities) are the principal theory of the party for building the new dynamic Nepal.

1. Central Federal Government and Autonomy Government

The Autonomy State government holds the administration of economic, politic, religion, social, culture, dialect and script, state development and growth.

2. Proportional Representative and Reservation:
For the state growth and policy, representative of all the groups and minor communities are essentially included on basis of equal proportional of their population. The minor and under privilege, backward, extinction groups and women are provided more priority in education, industries, employment and further 50% of privilege shall be increased from their respective proportional representative reservation. The central government and the state autonomy government shall legitimize reservation for minor groups, backward nationalities and extinction groups in field of education, employment, industries and government services.

15. Economic Policy
Independent and competitive market under democratic system shall be the party economic policy. Most of the Nepal industries are technically and materially much behind the other developed countries, thus it is against state interest for granting total independence to all the industries. Approaching the essential help from the neighboring nations has mostly been a setback to the nation. To this date, the state owned industries have been a failure in every respect. Embracing a practice of corruption by the corrupted government in every unit of the government sectors is the main reason behind the failure and fiasco of the state owned industries. Thus a new policy shall be strongly implemented for the enhancement and corruption free government. Since the Industries of large scale power house generators, large scale compost industries, communication transportation, mine industries, overseas donated industries, and Nuclear Power Plant are significantly important to the state then it is appropriate and right of the state to govern it. And remaining industries shall be remained independent and competitive under the local or non local industrialists. Independent industries must ensure and guarantee on labor proper share, labor rights and the employment. For developing and maintaining industries in rural areas, government shall distribute necessary capital to the people for participating in growth of industrialization; this will not only ends the trend of a few elite from controlling the state economy and capital but also help decentralizing industries from the urban to rural areas. The local and non local industrialist shall be offered equal independence and healthy competition in open market policy of the state, however the local industrialist shall be protected and made more proficient and competitive from the pressure and standard of non local industrialist. Massive researches shall be pursued on area of petroleum and mine for its production as well.

      15.1 Industrial Policy: As a state main resource, modern industrialization will remain the Party’s principal objective. Initially the Central Federal Government and the Autonomy States shall provide priority and roof for the agricultural industries. Since Nepal is a development country and its industries are in frail condition, government shall always provide support and services to the industries development and its growth. The policy of protecting local industries from the overseas industries and involving the local industries to each other in a healthy competition shall be formulated. And the local industries that promote and export local goods in overseas market shall be acknowledged and well received. Acknowledged industries shall have advantage of receiving long term loan on minimum interest rate for its important role in the state development and growth. Considering the state interest and goodwill, investors from overseas shall be advised and supported to invest or open up more industries in the state, and for their convenience electricity (in minimum rate), industrial region, transportation and legal processes are made more uncomplicated by the government. Overseas investors are given right on acquiring some of the profit from total profit on particular interest to remit home. Trading in currencies will also be made convenient and uncomplicated.

    15.2 Land Reform: Till this date, Nepal economy is particularly relying on agriculture. But the agriculture of Nepal has been a subject of discontented, poor and defamation, in spite of approaching and implementing modern technique, most agriculture of Nepal has to rely on rain fall in 21st century. Considering these facts, the Party shall transform and revolutionized agriculture into a more vibrant and much productivity sector of the state. Appropriate land reform shall be initiated to limit the agricultural mounting pressure and gradually transforming it to industrial sector. State owned lands shall be distributed or divided to the landless citizens and to poor farmers either in minimum cost or free of cost according to the citizen circumstances.

And tax system is not only based on land but in irrigation as well. Proper legal law will be formulated on Land tenant rights system.
